If you are having trouble with nausea and a poor appetite, go to the store and pick up some cans of Ensure or other type of liquid nutrition.
The generic brands from CVS and Walgreens are good too and are also less expensive. These drinks will give you the calories you need along with protein and other nutrients. If they are too strong-tasting for you, dilute them with a little bit of water. I had to use them in the morning when I was feeling really weak and occasionally once during the day when I needed a boost. You might also try a hearty, canned chicken noodle soup, or saltine crackers spread with peanut butter.
> hi all. i have not been doing well, still. today i have not eaten anything at all and had to leave work early because of massive anxiety (i told them i felt nauseous and lightheaded, which was true). i have felt out of sorts and dizzy all day (unsurprising since i havent eaten).

> my doc said to go to 20 (again i've been on 10 for 5 weeks). i left her a message asking if i should try 15 first. i've been waking up in the middle of the night shaky and sweating. overall i am terrified. i talked to my mom just now (26 and i still call my mom when im scared) and she was like its still early, you WILL get through this! but im so scared of the day to day. this morning i felt fine!
